OOTD – Shine bright

The air is colder, the days are shorter and the light makes everything appear grey and dull – welcome to November! I’m actually not a huge fan of snow, but when it’s totally white outside the world looks just so much brighter. Meanwhile we have to be creative to bring back our own light and make our days a little bit brighter and less dull. On Friday I found a way to ’shine bright‘ against the grey sky – with both my outfit and my make up. So let’s take a look at my outfit of the day!

As you see it was already time to put out my winter jacket. I refused to do it for as long as I could, but now it was just too cold. Yeah I know, maybe that’s weird… ^^
The sweater was part of my Fall Fashion post, in my opinion it’s perfect for really cold days. The cut is a bit oversized, which makes it very cozy and warm. I also like how those tiny silver fibers make it look more elegant. This is definitely one of my go-to sweaters right now.
As I told you before, I also used highlighter on my face to ’shine bright‘. For this I used Benefit’s High Beam, which is a creamy, almost liquid highlighter with rosy undertones and a rather silvery shimmer. It’s super easy to blend and leaves just a hint of shimmer and glow on your face without being too overpowering or even glittery. I used it on my browbone, down the center of my nose, on my cheekbones and to the inner corners of my eyes. To look like I’m really glowing from within, I applied it AFTER foundation, but BEFORE concealer and powder, this way I get a natural result. But I always make sure to keep these parts clear of powder, otherwise the whole effect would be ruined.

Now I hope you all had a great weekend so far and stay tuned!
